Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey said she contemplated committing suicide after her shocking loss to Holly Holm.

The UFC superstar sat down with Ellen for an interview that will air in its entirety Tuesday. Rousey got emotional when speaking of the loss and told Ellen, “Honestly, my thought I was like, in the medical room and I was down in the corner. I was sitting in the corner like, What am I anymore if I’m not this? And I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second.” (SLIDESHOW: Celebrate Ronda Rousey’s Birthday With These Sexy Photos)
